    Someone is checking if you're vulnerable to this:

    If you are, it's something to worry about.  I think the 404 indicates
    that you're probably OK, but check anyway.  We've been seeing a lok of
    .printer attempts lately..
    
    For people who are vulnerable, you'll get no indication in the web logs
    that a successful exploit happened.  The only clue is a w3svr restart in
    the event logs.  I tried a couple of the exploits for this hole when it
    can out, and they work really well.

    We get stuff like this every once in a while on our web servers.  I don't
    know why.  I imagine it could happen if someone's DNS got confused or
    modified... but I don't know what the point is.
